Default Viewing Control Characters

Hi,

I want to view and edit control characters such as <tab and <LF in text
files that I import into Excel 2007 on a Windows XP laptop. I'm not able to
view or edit them even though I can verify their presence using LEN and CODE
functions. It works on Excel 2007 on an XP desktop at work. The control
characters show up as boxes or boxes around symbols. Is there a setup option
on XP, Office, or Excel that I need to select?

Thanks,
Paul
